UAE authorities issue alerts amid Israel‑Iran war; residents and travelers must follow safety protocols, stay indoors, and contact embassies.
Amid rising Israel‑Iran tensions, the UAE provides emergency guidance, shelter instructions, and embassy contacts for travelers and residents’ safety.
UAE Israel‑Iran War: The United Arab Emirates (UAE), which functioned as a secure location, has stopped its operations because the Israel-Iran conflict now makes the current space conditions unsafe to operate. The guide provides safety measures and support services for people who need help, whether they stay in the area, visit, or get stuck temporarily.
Local authorities are sending emergency alerts to mobile phones with real‑time safety instructions. The government has issued missile threat warnings, shelter instructions and travel restrictions throughout the area. The public should rely on established news outlets and official social media platforms to receive correct news updates.
When sirens or alerts start to sound, people should enter emergency shelters, which need to be built inside main building areas that do not contain any windows or doors or outside areas. The government advises people to remain inside the nearest secure building until law enforcement officials declare the area safe for departure.
The regional missile activity and airspace closures have caused multiple flight delays, together with flight reroutes and flight cancellations. Passengers should check their flight status with airlines because both airlines and aviation regulators have recommended passenger safety measures.
